Learning outcomes

This one-semester course is based on a combination of possible interpretations of the concept of sustainability in relation to local government. This concept has become of fundamental importance from both a European and national perspective. It affects almost all areas, including local government. Sustainable development has become an integral part of development, especially in municipalities and cities. Students will learn the basic concepts of local government and sustainability, including financing options through the state budget, municipal budgets, and European Union programs. Related issues in the area of taxes and fees will also be covered. An integral part of the course is the integration of sustainability into public procurement. Students will learn the theoretical basics, which they will then be able to apply to practical situations.
After completing the course, students will be able to: 1. Understand concepts related to sustainability and legal regulations concerning local government. 2. Understand concepts and legal regulations ensuring the financing of local government in the Czech Republic. 3. Understand how to ensure and finance sustainability needs within local government. 4.
